Does any have the list of place in the US that were hit by Nukes in the game.

The pay listing got me thinking. Especially the one about Air Force...

Well anyways I do remember reading that K.I. Sawyer getting hit by Nuke. I was wonder if Sault Sainte Marie, MI got hit or not due to the locks.


At the time of the T2k start tonnage going through the Locks was dropping regularly. Which is part of the reason why US Corps of Engineer has dragged it feet with building a new Super Lock that can handle the 1000 foot Lakers. Fear before and after 911 is if Poe Lock was put out of commission for whatever reason many of the ships that use the locks will be stuck either Lake Superior or on the other lower 4 lakes.

One of the reason why the Shipping Industry has tried to push for the new super lock is that many ships in the fleet are getting old and it would cost more to bring them to new EPA standards than it would be to build new ships. With many Shipping Companies would rather build few ships to replace their fleet. Which would mean after the new ships came online and the new lock there would only be one lock that could handle them. This isn't the first time the Shipping industry has done this. I don't know the specs of the locks from Lake Huron on down to Lake Ontario, but I sure the 1000 foot Lakers don't make it much past Detroit...

The thing is even today if the Poe Lock was taken out, there still enough rail network to get the coal and other material that travel through the lock to it destination. It may take a couple months to several years for things would adjust. Especially if they had been damage like last year when tonnage was at a all time low, but it has pick up a bit this year...

I want to say from what I remember the Locks were spared.

But living in area where there are two natural choke points within hour drive. Mackinaw Bridge is another location where if it was damage it would throw thing in a fit. Especially when you consider all rail ferry dock have been removed. There is no longer any Car Ferry either between the two 'cities' and limit cargo/human transportation to Mackinaw Island. Could be interesting place for a t2k game.
